Is my laptop good enough for Dolphin?

I would switch to OpenGL for 2 reasons. The first is that it avoids crashing in the Silent Realm sections of the game. The second is that OpenGL can use the Vertex Streaming Hack for a sizable boost in speed. Depending on the game and your hardware, VSync may be possible to use without incurring any performance penalties; if you can run this game well without having to turn it off, leave it on to avoid screen tearing. Also, have a look at the Dolphin laptop performance guide: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-laptop-performance-guide
